    Default more asking rarity then value FF games for PS1

    final fantasy chronicles green band factory sealed
    Final Fantasy Anthology green band factory sealed


    i picked these up for 15 each still unsure if i over paid or not


    asking because another dealer says they can get there hands on

    final fantasy chronicles green band factory sealed
    Final Fantasy Anthology green band factory sealed
    final fantasy 8 green band factory sealed
    Final Fantasy 9 green band factory sealed

    if i am understanding them right (only had 1 phone convo abou tthis topic) the games will be 15-20 per sealed copy

    asking if this is a good deal or not and how rare these games are sealed (as a green band i know black band is more sought after but if i recall green band has lower print run)

    These are either still being produced or there were so many produced that there are still caseloads of these out there. You can get them off Amazon, Ebay, or I think even Target or one of those sites carries them. They're not worth more than $20.

    FF games are not rare. Just too many of them produced, especially with the GH releases.

    If you're buying for yourself, then I say it's an OK price. If you're buying to resell, rethink your plan.

    thanks there a lil of both i would love to get my hands on the full run of FF PS1 games green band sealed (black band is way to much for my low budget) but i also dont want to get somthing that will most likely go down in value

    so for 15 -20 each its a good deal and odds are in time (5 year range) they will be slowly going up

    [Sarcasm]Hey, don't be hating on FF just because 7 is one of the rarest games of all time![/Sarcasm]

    Anyway TC, you got a good deal on those. Don't expect to get much more if you plan to sell though.
    In Heaven, everything is fine.

    There's a flea market about an hour away that I go to every few months. One of the regular game sellers wanted $40 a piece for USED copies of 8 and 9. You aren't the only one seeing stuff like this; some people truly don't know what the heck they're selling.

    A guy at the local flea wanted $250 for Battletoads at one point, for example. He must have either had a really ignorant buyer or a bunch of complaints; it's gone now.

    Anyway, the green greatest hit variants are still holding steady at their usual price point. Paying $20 for a sealed one isn't that bad of a deal at all.

    I think the price is going to likely remain the same for a long time to come. Doesn't seem like anyone is running out of these games. And even when they do, there are so many of them floating around, and I'd bet a lot of people have picked em up just to keep them sealed.

    One other thing, I've also seen Chrono Cross and Legend of Dragoon at this price, and it's probably the same deal of they're either still being printed or there's tons of em out there.
